What is the difference between Nuclear Fission and Nuclear Fusion? Also any examples of them

Chemistry
1 answer:
stealth61 [152]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Hiya there!

Explanation:

Both fission and fusion are nuclear reactions that produce energy, but the applications are not the same. Fission is the splitting of a heavy, unstable nucleus into two lighter nuclei, and fusion is the process where two light nuclei combine together releasing vast amounts of energy.

For example, uranium can fission to yield strontium and krypton. Fusion joins atomic nuclei together. The element formed has more neutrons or more protons than that of the starting material. For example, hydrogen and hydrogen can fuse to form helium.

Explain why the freezing of water into ice causes the cracks to widen
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

The freezing of water into ice causes the cracks to widen because it occupy more space.

Explanation:

When the water change its state of liquid to solid state due to decrease in temperature, it contracts means occupy less space but when the temperature reaches to 4 degree Celsius, it starts to expand. When the temperature goes below 0 degree Celsius, it will cause more expansion and occupy more space that causes the cracks to widen.

What is a cation and where can you find it on the periodic table?
Maslowich

Answer:

A cation is an ion with fewer electrons than protons. Therefore, it has a positive charge. The electric charge on a proton is equal in amount to the charge on an electron. Anions are atoms or radicals (groups of atoms), that have gained electrons. Since they now have more electrons than protons, anions have a negative charge. Halogens always form anions, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals always form cations. Most other metals form cations (e.g. iron, silver, nickel), whilst most other nonmetals typically form anions (e.g. oxygen, carbon, sulfur).

Explanation:

An anion and cation cannot be specifically found on the periodic table.

Jeffrey is making a model of tungsten for his chemistry class. He has foam balls for the protons, neutrons, and electrons. He ha
mrs_skeptik [129]

Atomic number (Z) of tungsten is 74

Mass number (A) of tungsten is 184

Now:

Atomic number of an element = Number of protons = Number of electrons

Mass number = Number of Protons + Number of neutrons

In the case of tungsten

Total Number of electrons = 74

Jeffrey has already added 21 electrons

Number of electrons needed = 74 - 21 = 53

Ans (D) 53 more electrons are needed to complete the neutral atom of tungsten.

If atoms of a halogen nonmetal (Group 17) gains one electron, the atoms the have __.
RUDIKE [14]

Hm, this could be more than one option, but gaining electrons makes a negative charge, so

If atoms of a halogen nonmetal (Group 17) gains one electron, the atoms the have "a negative one charge".
